2 Corinthians 5:14-20

14ForG1063 theG3956 loveG26 ofG1520 ChristG5547 constraineth us; becauseG1063 weG2249 thus judgeG2919, thatG3748 oneG1520 died forG1063 allG3956, thereforeG686 allG3956 died;

15andG2532 heG2532 diedG599 forG3754 allG3956, thatG3754 theyG846 whichG3588 liveG2198 shouldG2443 noG3371 longerG3371 liveG2198 unto themselvesG1438, butG235 unto himG846 whoG3588 forG3754 theirG846 sakesG5228 diedG599 andG2532 roseG1453 againG3371.

16Wherefore weG2249 henceforth knowG1097 noG3762 manG3762 afterG2596 theG3588 fleshG4561: evenG2532 thoughG1487 weG2249 have knownG1097 ChristG5547 afterG2596 theG3588 fleshG4561, yetG2532 nowG3568 weG2249 knowG1097 himG2532 soG2532 noG3762 moreG3765.

17Wherefore ifG1487 anyG5100 manG5100 is inG1722 ChristG5547, heG1487 is a newG2537 creatureG2937: theG3588 oldG744 thingsG5100 are passedG3928 awayG3928; beholdG2400, theyG1487 are becomeG1096 newG2537.

18ButG1161 allG3956 thingsG3956 are ofG1537 GodG2316, whoG3588 reconciledG2644 usG1325 toG2532 himselfG1438 throughG1223 ChristG5547, andG2532 gaveG1325 unto usG1325 theG3956 ministryG1248 ofG1537 reconciliationG2643;

19toG2532 wit, thatG3754 GodG2316 wasG1510 inG1722 ChristG5547 reconcilingG2644 theG3588 worldG2889 unto himselfG1438, notG3361 reckoning unto themG846 theirG846 trespassesG3900, andG2532 having committedG5087 unto usG1722 theG3588 wordG3056 ofG3056 reconciliationG2643.

20WeG2249 are ambassadorsG4243 thereforeG3767 onG5228 behalfG5228 ofG1223 ChristG5547, asG5613 thoughG5613 GodG2316 were entreating byG1223 us: weG2249 beseech youG3767 onG5228 behalfG5228 ofG1223 ChristG5547, beG2316 ye reconciledG2644 toG5547 GodG2316.
